Well, I just turned to the person sitting behind me busily
writing a compiler and said, "Larry, do you exist?" He replied,
"In a tenuous form."

Joking aside, yes, Larry Wall does exist. Mail may be sent to him
at the address lwall@sdcrdcf.UUCP. This does not mean you should
expect a prompt reply. Larry is currently being enslaved (oops)
kept busy on a project that works on a machine with no outside
access. Although I pester him to read his mail, he is extremely
busy and does not have a spare minute to do so. If it is extremely 
urgent that you get to Larry, try sending mail to either me
(faigin@sdcrdcf.UUCP) or Mark Biggar (markb@sdcrdcf.UUCP) and we
will see that it gets brought to Larry's attention. [Of course,
this still does not imply that he will do anything about it --
corporate deadlines can have weird effects on otherwise sane
people]
